A superorganism is an organism consisting of many
organisms. This is usually meant to be a social unit of eusocial animals,
where division of labour is highly specialised and where individuals
are not able to survive by themselves for extended periods of time.
Ants are the best-known example of such a superorganism, while the
naked mole rat is a famous example of the eusocial mammal. The technical
definition of a superorganism is “a collection of agents which
can act in concert to produce phenomena governed by the collective,”
phenomena being any activity “the hive wants” such as
ants collecting food or bees choosing a new nest site.

SuperOrganism takes its name and purpose from the model of a honey
bee (Apis Mellifera) colony where individuals work selflessly and
mindfully towards the common good of the whole. To make a donation,
